Are you 30+, 40+, 50+? Do you believe your age diminishes your value in the workplace? In the world place? Well I am here to tell you it does not, it adds to your value in all spaces. With my new adult college degree from Granite State College and my new title from my recent promotion I am receiving numerous unsolicited job offers from the worldwide marketplace.
Below is a picture of the 7 year old dog I adopted from a rescue this week. The last thing I needed was a puppy, similar to a recent 22 year old college graduate!
I am a seasoned and informed consumer. When I started looking to add to my family I knew I did not want to start with an impressionable, undisciplined, unreliable and inexperienced dog. I went for a dog that may not be the cutest but is certainly reliable and intelligent. She knows the way of the world. She understands that I will return everyday and take her out so she can relieve her bladder, therefore she does not feel it is necessary to relieve herself on my hardwood floors!
Her life has not been an easy one. She was used to breed in a puppy mill and her health and well being was neglected. As a result she has lost all but 3 of her teeth. Because of the lack of teeth her tongue often falls out of the side of her mouth as a result of there being no teeth to hold it in! She is not the youngest, the cutest or the best breed animal available for me to invite into my family but she was the right choice.
The same can be said for us seasoned, adult learners. We are not he prettiest but we may be the brightest and most valuable in today's workforce. Are you contemplating the idea of starting your adult college program? Stop thinking about it and pick up the phone and speak to one of the informed, compassionate and real advisers at Granite State College.
